More From Barney Frank

I have ever been opposed to banks, - opposed to internal improvements by the general government, - opposed to distribution of public lands among the states, - opposed to taking the power from the hands of the people, - opposed to special monopolies, - opposed to a protective tariff, - opposed to a latitudinal construction of the constitution, - opposed to slavery agitation and disunion. this is my democracy. point to a single act of my public career not in keeping with these principles.

Political systems must love poverty-they produce so much of it. poor people make easier targets for a demagogue. no mao or even jiang zemin is likely to arise on the new york stock exchange floor. and politicians in democracies benefit from destitution, too. the us has had a broad range of poverty programs for 30 years. those programs have failed. millions of people are still poor. and those people vote for politicians who favor keeping the poverty programs in place. there's a conspiracy theory in there somewhere.
New York Years People
There are tribes, i should say nations, which prior to the aim movement had only ten or fifteen employees, and now have upwards of 2000. there are educational programs that didn't exist before, there are housing programs, health programs, senior citizen programs, cultural programs and the list goes on. it's all because some people stood up and said sovereignty is our right by treaty and the constitution says treaty law is the supreme law of the land.
Senior Educational Law
Liberals have a new wish every time their latest wish is granted. conservatives should make them spell out their principles and ideals. instead of doing this, conservatives allow liberals to pursue incremental goals without revealing their ultimate destination. so, thanks to the negligence of their opponents, liberals control the terms of every debate by always demanding 'more' while never defining 'enough.' the predictable result is that they always get more, and it's never enough.
Goal Wish Principles
What i think people should realize is that programs like social security, programs like medicare, programs like the veterans administration, programs like your local park and your local library - those are, if you like, socialist programs; they're run by [and] for the public, not to make money. i think in many ways we should expand that concept so that the american people can enjoy the same benefits that people all over the world are currently enjoying.
Running Thinking People
But perhaps the most important difference between conservatives and liberals can be found in the area of national security. conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers. in the wake of 9/11, conservatives believed it was time to unleash the might and power of the united states military against the taliban.

As long as a population can be induced to believe in a supernatural hereafter, it can be oppressed and controlled. people will put up with all sorts of tyranny, poverty, and painful treatment if they're convinced that they'll eventually escape to some resort in the sky where lifeguards are superfluous and the pool never closes. moreover, the faithful are usually willing to risk their skins in whatever military adventure their government may currently be promoting.

What does nonalignment mean? it means we don't belong to any military bloc and that we reserve the right to be friends with any country, independently of the influence of any country. all this has remained unchanged after the signing of the indo-soviet treaty, and others can say or think what they like - our policy won't change because of the soviet union.
